Matt Wilson has extensive experience building and running community-based initiatives for a healthier and more progressive world. As a nonprofit executive, community organizer, trainer, and campaign director with groups such as MoveOn.org, Toxics Action Center, and MASSCreative, Wilson has worked with residents to help them vision, realize, and build their capacity and power for change. He has led campaigns for a cleaner environment, affordable and accessible health care, to end the Iraq War, increase investment in the arts, and to elect progressive government leaders.

Throughout his career, Wilson has consulted with community based, statewide and national organizations which are working for change. He has particular experience working with startup nonprofits helping groups lay out a plan to build a robust program, sustainable revenue sources, and a strong and steady infrastructure.

Wilson was the founding Executive Director of MASSCreative, the statewide advocacy voice for Massachusetts’ arts, cultural, and creative community. Under his direction, MASSCreative grew to more than 400 organizational members with 25,000 individuals taking part in public education and advocacy actions. In his tenure, arts funding in the Commonwealth doubled and his advocacy work helped implement state policies to increase access and participation to quality arts education. He was the Americans for the Arts Alene Valkanas State Arts Advocacy Award winner in 2019 for his outstanding work.

As the National Director of the field staff for MoveOn.org, Wilson helped develop and implement the strategy behind MoveOn.org’s successful 2006 Call for Change program that helped the Democrats take back Congress. Call for Change recruited and trained more than 100,000 volunteers who made over seven million phone calls to targeted voters in 60 swing Congressional and Senate districts.

As the Director of Toxics Action Center for 14 years, Wilson built the organization from scratch to a New England-wide resource for hundreds of neighborhoods working to protect themselves from pollution threats.

Wilson graduated from Dartmouth College and earned a Masters of Public Administration at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
